Pen Repairmen (repairwomen)


Onion

Recommended Posts

Ok I am kinda new to this forum, just a month or so visiting.... is there a list of repair experts somewhere on the forum?

Could the repairmen step forward and let us know who you are. I am sending two of my pens to the Pen Den to be repaired, and I was wondering who else does repairs and what are your areas of expertise?

Johnny,

 

Sorry I can't help, wrong side of the World but I know Richard Binder offers repair services.

Having said that, some specialise in certain types only and may for instance send out a Snorkel to someone else.

All my pens go to:

 

Sherrell Tyree - in

 

10009 Roe Ave

Overland Park

KS 99207

Does great work!

I met Sherrel at the LA Pen Show last week. She, and her brother, led a session on Pen Restoration and I was very impressed with their knowledge and skill. Sherrel does the Shaeffers and her brother does the Parkers. Interesting division of labor :D

 

Sherrel gave me some very good advice on cleaning up my pens and her brother was kind enough to take a look at, and straighten a bent nib for me. No charge for either, and, as an extra bonus, the conversation was great.

 

I haven't had them repair anything for me but, if you can judge folks based on social impressions, they will be first rate.

Jim Mamoulides has a list of penrepairers on his site penhero.com. There is a ton(ne) of good info there.

 

One bonus of sending a pen to Sherrell is how she packs it on return.

 

There are a number of good repairers out there, but they tend to have slow turn arounds, once they're well established.

 

Best

Sherrell returns everything beautifully wrapped in paper, tied with a ribbon, with a sample of how the pen writes, list of repairs done, model identification, some history (the pen's not hers) and an estimated value!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
